"Come as you are works in Japan when leaders are also willing to read the air and meet people where they are". "Japan isn't as risk-averse as people think; it is uncertainty avoidance and consensus norms like nemawashi and ringi-sho that slow decisions". "In Japan, numbers are universal, but how people feel about those numbers is where real leadership begins". "For foreign leaders, kindness, patience, and genuine curiosity are far more powerful than charisma or title". "Women leaders who embrace their own style, instead of copying male role models, can quietly transform Japanese workplaces".   Joanne Lin is Senior Director, APAC, for Deckers Brands, the American company behind UGG, HOKA, and Teva. Born in Taiwan and raised in Canada, she later completed her MBA at Boston University and began her career in Boston, working in a trading company and then at Merrill Lynch Investment Company. In 2000, she moved to Japan for family reasons and has since built a 25-year leadership career in this complex market. In Japan, Joanne first held senior finance roles, including Head of Finance for Reebok Japan and CFO for Aegis Media, where she worked on mergers and acquisitions. She joined Deckers over thirteen years ago as CFO for Japan and was later asked to step in as interim Country Manager for Deckers Japan. Today she is back in an APAC-wide role, responsible for finance and strategy across 15 markets, including Japan, China, South Korea, Hong Kong, Australia and New Zealand. Her remit covers subsidiaries and distributor markets alike, requiring constant adaptation across cultures. Throughout her journey, Joanne has learned to reconcile a direct, North American style with Japan's more implicit, consensus-driven culture. Often mistaken for Japanese because of her appearance, she calls herself the "invisible gaijin", using that ambiguity to observe carefully, read body language, and bridge cultural expectations. Her leadership story is one of resilience, curiosity, and the quiet confidence to lead as herself in a country that often expects conformity. Joanne Lin's leadership journey began far from Japan. Born in Taiwan and raised in Toronto, she grew up immersed in North American directness, meritocracy, and straight-talking feedback. After completing an MBA at Boston University, she started her career in Boston, first at a trading company and then at Merrill Lynch Investment Company, building a strong foundation in finance. Numbers, ratios, and cash flows were her native business language long before she ever heard the phrase kūki o yomu — "reading the air" — in Japan. In 2000, she moved to Japan for family reasons, expecting to build a career but not realising how deeply the culture would challenge her assumptions about leadership. She entered the corporate world here without Japanese language skills and without local experience. Physically, many colleagues assumed she was Japanese, or at least of Japanese descent, and treated her accordingly. She jokes that she became an "invisible gaijin": expected to understand unspoken rules despite never having grown up with them. Early on, she discovered that in Japan, silence often speaks louder than words. Concepts akin to nemawashi — the quiet groundwork of building consensus before meetings — and the unspoken pressure to align with the group meant that decisions rarely came from a single, charismatic leader. Instead, she had to watch faces, posture and micro-reactions around the table. While she came from an environment where people said "yes" or "no" clearly, in Japan phrases like "I'll think about it" could mean "no" 80% of the time. Learning to interpret these signals became as important as reading the P&L. Her career advanced steadily through senior finance roles: Head of Finance for Reebok Japan, CFO for Aegis Media leading M&A, and later CFO for Deckers Japan. Over thirteen years at Deckers, she helped steer the growth of brands such as UGG and the fast-rising performance brand HOKA in one of the world's most competitive footwear markets. Eventually, she was asked to serve as interim Country Manager for Deckers Japan, an opportunity that tested her ability to go beyond numbers and lead entire functions including sales, marketing, HR and retail. Joanne's leadership philosophy is grounded in being genuine and transparent. She believes in explaining the "why" behind decisions, giving context, and aligning people rather than simply seeking agreement. She spends time helping non-finance colleagues understand what gross margin, discounts and operating income mean in practical terms, translating finance into everyday language rather than using it as a gatekeeping tool. Engagement surveys, where Japan often scores modestly compared with global benchmarks, have been a recurring theme in her work. Rather than blaming culture, she looks at how questions are worded, how norms shape responses, and then uses those insights to design practical remedies — from "lunch and learn" sessions to cross-functional gatherings and new-joiner lunches with senior leaders. As a woman leader, Joanne has wrestled with impostor syndrome yet chosen to step forward anyway. She sees many high-potential women in Japan holding back, waiting to be "perfect" before raising their hand. Her message to them is clear: trust yourself, recognise your natural strengths in communication and empathy, and accept that no leader — male or female — is ever fully ready. In the end, her story is about blending global experience with local nuance, leading with kindness and clarity, and proving that one can honour Japanese culture while still bringing a distinct, authentic leadership style to the table. Q&A Summary What makes leadership in Japan unique? For Joanne, leadership in Japan is defined by what is not said. The real meeting often happens before and after the official meeting, through nemawashi, where stakeholders quietly shape outcomes. In the room, kūki o yomu — reading the air — is critical: leaders must observe body language, side glances and subtle hesitations to interpret what people truly think. Formal tools like ringi-sho workflows, built on stamped approvals and consensus, reinforce a collective approach to decision-making. Japanese employees often assume the leader should already know their needs without them having to say it. That expectation of intuitive understanding, combined with a strong norm of harmony, makes empathetic listening and patience indispensable leadership skills. Why do global executives struggle? Global executives often arrive with a Western template: clear targets, rapid decisions, direct feedback. In Japan, that can clash with a culture that prizes stability, seniority and group consensus. Leaders may misinterpret indirect communication as indecisiveness or lack of ambition, when in fact people are carefully weighing the impact on the group. Engagement surveys then show Japan at the bottom of global rankings, and headquarters misreads this as disengagement, rather than a reflection of conservative scoring norms. Many foreign leaders also underestimate how much time must be invested in trust-building, one-on-one conversations, and slow-burn relationship work before people feel safe to share ideas or challenge the status quo. Is Japan truly risk-averse? Joanne sees Japan as more uncertainty-avoidant than risk-averse in the pure financial sense. As a finance professional, she knows that commercial risk can be quantified — through scenarios, ratios and forecasts. But in Japan, the social and reputational risks loom equally large: who will be blamed if this fails, what will it do to group harmony, how will customers react? These uncertainty factors slow decisions more than the numbers themselves. Leaders who introduce tools like decision intelligence platforms, scenario simulation or even digital twins of supply chains can help Japanese teams see risk in a structured way, reducing the emotional fear around uncertainty and making experimentation feel safer. What leadership style actually works? The style that works for Joanne is grounded in transparency, modesty and consistency. She leads by example, explaining not only what must be done, but why, and what it means for individuals and teams. She tries to give her people "airtime", resisting the urge — common to many finance leaders — to jump straight to the solution. In practice, that means listening to ideas without immediate judgement, thanking people publicly for their input, and celebrating small wins as much as big milestones. She maintains high standards but increasingly recognises that not everyone should be held to the same work rhythm she sets for herself. Alignment, not forced agreement, is the goal: people may disagree but still commit to the path once they feel heard. How can technology help? Technology, in Joanne's world, is not just about efficiency; it is a bridge between data and human behaviour. Advanced analytics, dashboards and decision-support tools can make trade-offs between margin, volume and investment more tangible for non-finance teams. AI-driven text analysis of engagement comments can surface themes that traditional surveys miss, helping leaders understand sentiment behind Japan's modest scoring patterns. Scenario modelling and digital twins of operations can turn abstract risks into concrete options, making it easier for consensus-driven teams to move forward. At its best, technology supports nemawashi by giving everyone a shared, data-informed picture, rather than replacing dialogue. Does language proficiency matter? Joanne arrived in Japan with no Japanese language ability and was forced to become an intense observer of body language and context. That experience convinced her that leadership is possible without fluency — but far more sustainable with it. Learning Japanese shows respect, reduces distance, and makes informal conversations and humour possible. Even basic proficiency helps leaders understand nuance in ringi documents, hallway chats, and customer feedback. She encourages foreign leaders to invest in language learning not as a checkbox, but as a signal of commitment to the market and to their teams. What's the ultimate leadership lesson? Her core lesson is simple yet demanding: be kind, be open, and be yourself. Leaders should stop expecting perfection from themselves and from others, especially in a country where external shocks like currency swings, tariffs and pandemics can derail even the best-laid plans. Instead, they should focus on doing their best, communicating clearly, and treating people with respect. For women leaders especially, Joanne's message is to step forward even when self-doubt whispers otherwise — to recognise that their strengths in empathy, communication and cultural sensitivity are not "soft" add-ons but central to effective leadership in Japan. In the long run, success here is less about heroics and more about steady, human-centred leadership that people genuinely want to follow. Timecoded Summary [00:00] The conversation opens with an introduction to Deckers Brands, the American company headquartered in Santa Barbara and best known in Japan for UGG, HOKA and Teva. Joanne explains that Deckers historically functions as a holding-style company, acquiring and growing footwear brands, and that Japan is a key market where three major brands are active. She outlines her current role as Senior Director, APAC, overseeing finance and strategy across 15 countries, including both subsidiaries and distributor markets. [05:20] Joanne traces her career arc: Taiwanese by birth, raised in Canada, MBA from Boston University, then finance roles in Boston with a trading company and Merrill Lynch Investment Company. In 2000 she relocates to Japan for family reasons, later becoming Head of Finance for Reebok Japan and CFO for Aegis Media, working on M&A. She joins Deckers over thirteen years ago as CFO for Japan and eventually steps into an interim Country Manager role, before returning to a wider APAC mandate based in Japan. [12:45] The discussion shifts to cultural adjustment. Because she "looks Japanese", colleagues initially assume she understands Japanese norms. She describes becoming an "invisible gaijin", held to local expectations without having grown up here. She learns to read the air, focusing on facial expressions, body language and context. Phrases like "I'll consider it" often conceal a "no", and she gradually becomes adept at interpreting such indirect communication. Her direct North American instincts must be tempered by Japanese expectations for restraint and harmony. [19:30] Finance and human reactions to numbers come into focus. Joanne notes that while sales, gross margin and SG&A appear objective, different functions interpret them in varied ways: finance may celebrate high margins while sales may worry they are under-investing. She stresses the importance of explaining financial concepts in simple terms, almost as if speaking to a 10-year-old, so that everyone can understand consequences. Her temporary shift from CFO to GM broadens her empathy for non-finance views and deepens her appreciation for cross-functional tension. [26:10] Attention turns to team engagement and communication. Japan's engagement survey scores routinely trail global averages, a pattern she attributes partly to cultural modesty and translation issues. Instead of accepting low scores as fate, she focuses on post-survey action: leaders are asked to talk openly with teams, understand expectations, and co-create remedies. Concrete initiatives such as "lunch and learn" sessions and new-joiner lunches with directors help break silos, humanise leadership and create informal nemawashi-like spaces where people can ask questions and share concerns. [33:40] Joanne discusses culture-building under the umbrella of Deckers' "Come as you are" value. She supports self-expression — even store staff in gender-fluid fashion — as long as it's tasteful and customer-appropriate. Her own leadership style is to be genuine, transparent and open about vulnerabilities. She balances the efficiency of top-down directives with the long-term benefits of participation: while consensus-building and alignment take time, they reduce turnover, re-training costs and disengagement. [40:15] Gender and leadership come into sharper focus. Joanne recounts her own bouts of impostor syndrome and the temptation, earlier in her career, to doubt her readiness for bigger roles. She notes that many women hesitate to raise their hands until they feel almost 100% qualified, while men may step up with far less. She encourages aspiring women leaders to recognise their strengths in empathy and nuanced communication, to "give it a try" even when not fully confident, and to view setbacks as learning rather than final verdicts. [47:30] The interview closes with advice for foreign leaders coming to Japan. Joanne emphasises being open, respectful and kind — to oneself and to others. She urges leaders to accept that Japan's deep-rooted culture will not change in a short posting, and that success depends on adapting rather than trying to remodel the country. Learning Japanese, even imperfectly, is both a sign of respect and a practical tool for building trust. Ultimately, she argues, effective leadership in Japan is about balancing data and humanity, global standards and local nuance, ambition and empathy.

Join us as high school US history teacher David Atkins shares an innovative and adaptable teaching strategy that's transforming how students make connections across curriculum. In this episode, David introduces hexagonal thinking, a hands-on activity where students arrange hexagon-shaped cards with concepts written on them, explaining the relationships between ideas as they connect. What makes this strategy so powerful? David explains his two-part framework for selecting classroom activities: engaging students through multiple learning modalities (reading, writing, speaking, listening, critical thinking, and cooperation) while maintaining adaptability across different lessons and standards. Hexagonal thinking checks both boxes beautifully. Discover how this versatile approach works across disciplines—from connecting scientific concepts in biology to analyzing story elements in English, relating vocabulary in social studies, or matching problems with solutions in math. David walks us through his progressive implementation strategy, starting with familiar pop culture references to teach the mechanics, then gradually increasing complexity as students become comfortable with the process. You'll learn practical tips for differentiation, including assigning specific group roles to support struggling students and adapting the complexity of connections students are asked to explain. Whether your students work independently, in pairs, or in small groups, this strategy promotes meaningful discussion and deeper understanding of content relationships. David also shares how to incorporate gallery walks for peer feedback, turning hexagonal thinking into a collaborative learning experience that builds both content knowledge and critical thinking skills. #HexagonalThinking #StudentEngagement #InteractiveLearning #TeachingStrategy  #NewTeacherTips #NewTeachers #NewTeacherTalk #TeacherPodcast #DavidAtkins

Campbell Takes the Wheel, Offense Floors It The Detroit Lions put their stamp on Week 10. They routed the Commanders by 22. They hung 44 and rolled up more than 550 yards. The record moved to 6-3. First place in the NFC North followed after the Eagles beat the Packers. The headline was simple. Dan Campbell took over the offense, and the Detroit Lions looked like themselves again. This was the most dynamic snap-to-whistle showing of the season. The calls came out fast. The ball came out faster. The NFL is a rhythm league, and Detroit lived in rhythm. Jared Goff hit receivers in stride and let speed do the rest. Crossing routes stacked yards after catch. Tendencies softened. The heavy 12 personnel looks did not announce run and stall drives. The Detroit Lions added layers, kept Washington off balance, and strung answers together all afternoon. Rhythm Over Hero Ball The Detroit Lions Podcast broke down one sequence that captured the shift. Pony personnel out of the gun. Two backs on the field. Jahmyr Gibbs flared to the flat as the hot answer. David Montgomery inserted and stoned a free rusher. Goff hit the outlet and the sticks moved. Simple. Clean. Smart. That is what this offense can be when the first answer is built in. Concepts stacked nicely. Shallow crossers for Jameson Williams to run. A dig when leverage opened. Amon-Ra St. Brown on the slant. St. Brown on the touchdown off levels. The throws were on time. The spacing was sharp. The result was chunk gains without forcing low-percentage hero shots. Protection looked steadier because the plan cut the defense's teeth. Get it out. Make them tackle. Most of all, the approach felt unpredictable. Motions and formations did not telegraph intent. The Detroit Lions leaned into what their roster does best. Gibbs in space. Montgomery in pass protection and as a hammer. Goff as a point guard. The unit played connected football, and Washington never found the answers. Locker Room Temperature and What Comes Next There was also an undercurrent here. The previous play-caller's public criticism of the offensive line lingered. That kind of commentary belongs in the building. Not in front of microphones. The change arrived like a soft firing or a mutual reset. Either way, Campbell's voice carried, and the offense responded. Trust matters. Fourth-and-two calls tell a team everything. Campbell's aggression and clarity fueled confidence. Players know when the head coach believes in them. They played like it. Detroit sits at 6-3 after the statement win. The next test is heavy. The Eagles await on Sunday night in Week 11. That stage will demand the same tempo, the same answers-first sequencing, and the same discipline that beat Washington. Keep the ball moving. Keep Goff in rhythm. Keep Gibbs and Montgomery involved. If the Detroit Lions keep this identity, they will look like one of the most balanced units in the NFL when the lights come on again. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YRb8rTxJSiI #DanCampbelltookovertheoffense #JaredGoff #JahmyrGibbs #DavidMontgomery #JamesonWilliams #Amon-RaStBrown #Ponypersonnel #12personnellooks #yardsaftercatch #fourthandtwocalls Learn more about your ad choices.

Give Congressman Tom Tiffany credit for maybe being a little too honest when it comes to Republicans and health care. After blasting the Affordable Care Act in Milwaukee on Wednesday, the GOP candidate for governor was asked why his party still hasn't put forward an alternative in the 15 years since the ACA passed. His answer showed how his colleagues don't even have the “concepts of a plan” claimed by Donald Trump last year.

Tonight on The Ezra Levant Show, Ezra reflects on November 11th — a date we pause to remember. Or at least, we used to. Increasingly, Remembrance Day feels like a commemoration observed by a country that has forgotten nearly everything that once held it together. Our history, our alliances, our culture and even our moral vocabulary. Concepts like fascism and democracy are now shapeshifting political footballs, bent out of recognition by activists who claim to defend freedoms while behaving like their opposites. The Rebel News podcasts features free audio-only versions of select RebelNews+ content and other Rebel News long-form videos, livestreams, and interviews. Monday to Friday enjoy the audio version of Ezra Levant's daily TV-style show, The Ezra Levant Show, where Ezra gives you his contrarian and conservative take on free speech, politics, and foreign policy through in-depth commentary and interviews. Wednesday evenings you can listen to the audio version of The Gunn Show with Sheila Gunn Reid the Chief Reporter of Rebel News. Sheila brings a western sensibility to Canadian news. With one foot in the oil patch and one foot in agriculture, Sheila challenges mainstream media narratives and stands up for Albertans.

In this episode of Concepts and Conversations with Coach Bryan Thomas, we take a nostalgic ride back to TM Camp 1999 in Zanesville, Ohio—a place filled with spiritual awakening, youthful excitement, and unforgettable memories. Coach Bryan brings listeners into the world of anticipation, emotion, and faith as he recounts the moments leading up to that annual summer escape — from bus rides filled with laughter to the unmistakable scent of the Zanesville air.As he revisits those sacred campgrounds, he reflects on faith, growing up, and the mysterious young woman who once captured his attention. The tension between devotion and desire unfolds with honesty and humor, giving us a heartfelt window into a 16-year-old's mind—torn between the call of God and the pull of young love.And just when you think the story has settled, Coach Bryan adds a special touch to the end of this episode — a brand-new song inspired by The Chronicles of the Mystery Girl, capturing the emotion, nostalgia, and reflection of those summer days. This song closes the episode with soul, sound, and sentiment, marking a perfect harmony between story and music.Tune in and experience storytelling, reflection, and melody woven together — one day, one moment at a time.

How The Scriptures Reveal The Importance Of Unity And Fellowship in The Body of Christ.

Breaching has long been one of the most valuable skillsets in our community. To defeat our enemy, to eliminate the threat, we must be able to access that threat, access the hold of our enemy. While there's been so many advancements in breaching technology, the core concepts always remain. In this episode, I sit down with Chris Kuras of Good Dude Concepts to talk about breaching work as a part of a SWAT team in Florida, as well as what he's been able to bring to the conversation with the invention of his Breaching Rescue Bar, or B.R.B. As a tool that is accessible to all walks of life, with intentional design to lend itself to numerous needs, it fills a gap that many professionals and civilians alike have had to work around for years. We got into a lot in this discussion, and if you're interested in learning the skillset, this may be a great starting point for you!Check out Good Dude Concepts - https://good-dude.com/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/good_dude_concepts/Visit our sponsors!Our Patreon - www.patreon.com/prepared_mindset_podCustom Night Vision - www.customnightvision.comHerrington Arms - www.herringtonarms.comRMA Armor - www.rmadefense.com 'PreparedMindset5' to save!

Head over to https://www.richmind.co/ to grab our free resources and also follow the podcast.   This episode provides a powerful and practical 3-step framework for building unstoppable habits to create your dream life. Inspired by the wisdom of Jim Rohn, Randy explains that the secret to having more is becoming more, and the key to becoming more is mastering your daily habits. He breaks down a simple yet effective system for eliminating bad habits and stacking good ones. Listeners will learn the "Zero Day Mindset" to ensure daily progress, the importance of conducting an "Environment Audit" to remove distractions and set yourself up for success, and how to create a "Reward Loop" to make new habits stick. This is a concise, no-fluff guide to transforming your life by transforming your daily actions.   Key Takeaways:   The foundation of building your dream life is mastering your daily habits. Step 1: The Zero Day Mindset. Commit to making at least some progress on your new habit every single day, no matter how small. Never let a day end at zero. Step 2: The Environment Audit. Proactively design your surroundings to make good habits easy and bad habits difficult. Remove distractions and set up visual cues for success. Step 3: The Reward Loop. Attach a meaningful, personal reward to the consistent practice of your new habit to reinforce the behavior and make it enjoyable. Habits are stackable; mastering one good habit (like journaling) makes it easier to build others in different areas of your life, such as health and productivity. Don't beat yourself up if you fall backward or miss a day. Acknowledge it, learn from it, and get right back on track without self-judgment.   Questions Answered in This Episode:   What is the secret to building habits that actually stick? How can I achieve my biggest goals faster and with more ease? What is the "Zero Day Mindset" and how can it guarantee daily progress? How does your physical environment affect your ability to build good habits? What are the best ways to design your environment for success? What is a "Reward Loop" and why is it essential for habit formation? How do you stay motivated when building a new habit that feels difficult? What is the one simple habit that can change the entire trajectory of your life?   Key People, Concepts, & Terms:   People: Randy Wilson, Jim Rohn. Concepts: Unstoppable Habits, Habit Stacking, Zero Day Mindset, Environment Audit, Reward Loop, Personal Development, Comfort Zone, Journaling. Programs Mentioned: Challenge to Succeed (Jim Rohn)

The Kaddish prayer, recited numerous times in each Jewish prayer service, but only in the synagogue, is a mourner's prayer on one of tis forms, even though death is not mentioned in the prayer. This podcast will help explain the specific importance of this prayer, its meaning, why it is in the Aramaic language and not in Hebrew, and  why only recited in a community setting.

This week on Chocolate Cake Bytes, we visit with Kammi for an episode that will have you rethinking the language of self-growth and spirituality. What do we really mean when we talk about abundance, authenticity, or manifesting? And how do the words we use shape our understanding of gospel principles—sometimes in subtle, crucial ways?Dive in as we untangle the world's definitions from sacred doctrine and explore how everyday words can be spiritual linchpins—or minefields. With a blend of humor, personal stories, and thoughtful analysis, we'll consider how the Savior remains at the heart of true abundance and authentic living—even when the words sound the same but mean something altogether different.What if some of our favorite self-help buzzwords have hidden implications? Could we be missing the Savior in our drive for growth? Tune in to be challenged, surprised, and maybe even inspired to ask: Where is God in the words I use and the path I'm choosing?Please share this episode with someone who needs to hear it.

Episode Description:In this heartfelt continuation of The Chronicles of the Mystery Girl, Coach Bryan takes listeners back to the late 1990s — a time of change, challenge, and youthful discovery. Picking up where Act One left off, he revisits the moment that first encounter with the mysterious young woman changed everything. But as the memories unfold, life continues to move — from his family's struggles and small victories to the soundtracks that defined a generation.Journey with Coach Bryan through the ups and downs of adolescence: from gospel CDs that brought comfort during tough times, to road trips with friends, and the excitement of summer youth camp. Along the way, a new spark ignites when a chance seatmate on the bus—Girl B—turns an ordinary trip into an unforgettable story of connection, innocence, and first love.But even as new emotions stir, the thought of the mystery girl refuses to fade. As Act Two closes, a question lingers: will she return once more, this time in Zanesville?

Episode Description:In this next installment of the Chapters of the Heart audiobook series, Coach Bryan invites listeners deeper into the unfolding journey of love, distance, and self-discovery. Episodes 3 and 4 pick up where young hearts are tested by time, change, and the quiet spaces between words.As the story moves forward, the realities of college life, responsibility, and growing distance begin to test what once felt unshakable. Between late-night study sessions, unanswered questions, and the pressures of new beginnings, the characters find themselves navigating the fragile balance between holding on and letting go.Through reflection, vulnerability, and the rhythm of life in the early 2000s, Chapters of the Heart continues to explore how love matures, fades, and sometimes reawakens in unexpected ways.

We all seem to believe that there's nothing left to explain. There are millions of articles, books and stories out there. Yet, there's always a way to cut through the clutter. No matter how much information exists, some people are still able to communicate in a way that gets and keep your attention. Here's how you go about it.

Concepts are one thing, but what about some cards. If you listened to the recent Anatomy of a Killer episode, you've probably been mulling over Andy's sub-archetypes for Voltron commander decks. With the concepts in hand, let's start thinking about the concrete cards that cover all bases. While the obvious cards may be out there, can we find some nuance in balancing on the line between being a killer and being killed in the game of EDH?
